Grand Mediterranean Wonders

Spend the day exploring Dubrovnik, a medieval walled city which has been meticulously preserved despite the invasions, wars and earthquakes over the years. The highlights of Dubrovnik include walking the city walls, discovering Lokrum Island and panoramic views from the top of the Mount Srd cable car.

Another Croatian city bursting with thousands of years’ worth of history, Split is set inside the walls of Roman Emperor Diocletian’s 6,000-year-old Palace. Explore the narrow cobblestoned streets and charming pavement cafes or take a historical walking tour and learn about Splits fascinating past.

Join the crew of the Voyager as they celebrate making the maiden call into Rijeka. Another delightful city on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast you can choose to spend the day at Sablicevo Beach, explore the Natural History Museum or browse for gifts in the City Market.

Today’s port of call is Koper in Slovenia, well-known for its 15th century Venetian Palace, and having Slovenia’s largest cathedral. Spend the day wandering down the promenade or venture further afield to Slovenia’s lively capital Ljubljana.

Day two in Venice, make sure to see popular sites such as St Mark’s Square, Doge’s Palace and the Rialto Bridge which crosses the Grand Canal. Visit Murano Island to watch the artists blow glass and create the well-known Murano Glass ornaments and jewellery.

Day 8 of your Mediterranean cruise will be spent at sea aboard the Voyager, enjoy the small uncrowded facilities with only 540 passengers on board. Swim in the pool, soak in the hot tub, or read your book on the sun deck.

The stunning island of Corfu has something for everyone. Soak up the traditional Greek Old Town with its Venetian fortress built in the 1400’s. Relax on the beach and enjoy a drink or two in stylish and cosmopolitan Corfu Town. Or venture further afield with a trip to the Achilleion Palace built for the Empress of Austria in the 1800’s.

Katakolon is the gateway to Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Stroll through the ancient stadium ruins, and see the place where the Olympic Torch is lit every Olympics before travelling to the host country to light the Olympic Flame. Alternatively join the shore excursion to the Mercouri Vineyard for an afternoon of wine tasting.

The second maiden port for the Voyager on this Mediterranean cruise, Monemvasia is located on a small island linked to the mainland of Greece by a short causeway. From the mainland the island looks like a huge uninhabitable cliff face, but hidden on the other side, are the well preserved Byzantine town and fortress. Fascinating history, interesting architecture and fantastic beaches await.

Two days in Athens, Europe’s oldest city, means you have plenty of time to explore both the modern city and its ancient history. Visit the Acropolis, the hub of ancient Greek civilisation with the iconic remains of the Parthenon. Make sure to see the Panathenaic Stadium, the host of the 1896 inaugural Modern Olympic Games.

Spend Day 15 sailing aboard the Voyages of Discovery luxury cruise ship on the way to Thessaloniki, your next port of call.

Located on the border between middle-eastern and western cultures the city has many interesting influences and sights to see.

Canakkale itself is an energetic university town with great bars and cafes lining its cobblestone lanes. From here you can visit the ruins of the ancient city of Troy, written about in Homer’s famous Iliad. This is also the best place from which to see the WWI battlefields of Gallipoli.

Welcome to Dikili, a popular Turkish summer resort. Relax on the beach and explore town or take a shore excursion to the ancient town of Pergamum which was famous in Roman times for its huge library and the world’s first medical centre.
